Hello all - as we had a little jump in membership, we wanted to take a moment to welcome all of the new folks. Truth is, we never did a proper welcome to anybody - but we can start here! Sara and I are busy trying to get some new things put together for ya'll - along with some others who aim to bring exciting new content that you may not only enjoy, but you may find useful. Until then ... Welcome to Heidi, Denise, Cathy, Eric, Icy, Joe B., Denise, Lorrie, John, Terry, Lisa, Stephen, Kim, Bill, Jae, Becky, Quemby, Leanna, Michelle, Bill, Trevor, Jason, Stacey, Faye, Kayleigh, Lori, Sandra, Kris, and that Sara lady. ;) Welcome and thank you for being here to build with us!

As we build this piece out together, it is important to understand what you all would like to see. -R Let's start with a poll in topics:

Death isn’t paranormal. It’s one of the most human experiences we share. It touches families, routines, culture, grief, celebration, storytelling...everyday life. We spend so much time in the field and in the community competing for answers, experiences, and validation. But death isn’t a competition. The goal isn’t the answer, it’s what we find along the way. These courses exist to ask people to pause and recognize that curiosity begins the moment life changes. The moment we lose someone. The moment we question our own mortality. That’s where awareness starts. That’s where understanding begins. These courses are an invitation to slow down. To be mindful. To step away from the chase and remember that this work isn’t about monsters or competition. It’s about living fully in our connections, those we hold in the present and those we carry forward after loss. Because the relationships that shape us don’t end. They continue in memory, in meaning, and in the way we choose to live. We hope you find your inspiration, your motivation and your encouragement to live in the moment. -Sara
